When I started my recovery, a big trend was “self affirmations.” As in...wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and say, “I love me!” Or put a post it note on my mirror that says, “I am beautiful” or “I am strong!” And sure, that’s a nice sentiment. But spoiler alert...it didn’t work. It wasn’t until I changed that narrative to -*God* loves me. - *God* makes my heart beautiful - and *God* gives me strength - that my recovery really solidified in a meaningful way. Because at the end of the day, those positive affirmations...if they’re simply grounded in my own feeling and emotion...they’re as fickle as the wind and fall flat. They need the foundation of The Rock. (And not @therock ... but rather, the *original* Rock: Jesus). Just something to think about.

And no - not the chocolate filled calendars! What is this period of time before Christmas all about? And spoiler alert...it’s not shopping! PLUS! A suuuuper special announcement you do NOT want to miss!! NEW POST UP: ADVENT AND ME! 👉🏼Link in Story! 👉🏼 BeautyBeyondBones.com #family #manhattan #faith #love #christmas #travelblogger #edrecovery #plantbased #vegansofig #glutenfree #edfam #realrecovery #catholic #christian #holiday #beautybeyondbones #bodypositive #selflove #selfcare #jesus #blogger #blog #nyc #joy #thecloisters #advent #style #cross #adventcalendar This woman right here. Gosh I love her so much. My mom and I have been through so much. This Christmas, we’re coming up on the two year anniversary of her stroke. Not a day goes by that I don’t get down on my knees and thank God for her miraculous recovery. 🙏🏼 Since then, not only has she come back swinging, but we’ve taken new adventures together (hello 80 mile walk on the El #Camino de Santiago in Spain!) - because life is short and precious and gosh darn it seize the NOW! 🙌🏼 Mom, I love you. You’re my hero 💛 Sharing about my favorite part of her visit: the @thetenementmuseum in tonight’s blog post: WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS. It was such a powerful experience, seeing how people lived, immigrating to the US way back when. Definitely opened my eyes to a new perspective.

Because the world will try to move you whichever way the wind blows, so you’ve got to be firm in what matters to you. And for me, that’s loving Jesus. Loving my family. And loving others. I’m slowly learning to add myself to that list too. One day at a time. What’s on your list of things that matter most to you? 💛 🗽 🏙 🚖 🚦 ON THE BLOG: A HALLMARK CHRISTMAS 👉🏼Link in Bio! 👉🏼 BeautyBeyondBones.com #family #freedomtower #faith #love #christmas #travelblogger #edrecovery #plantbased #vegansofig #glutenfree #edfam #realrecovery #catholic #christian #whitneymuseum #beautybeyondbones #bodypositive #selflove #selfcare #wellness #blogger #blog #nyc #joy #love #hallmarkchristmasmovies #style #home #hallmarkchannel Oh my gosh these pretzels smelled SOO good! Oh my GOSH 🥨😛🥨 Walking around the Union Square Christmas market, I felt like I was starring in a Hallmark movie!

And I’ve loved every. single. minute. of it. 🙌🏼Watching my nieces play in the yard, decorating the house for Christmas with my mom, 🎄Hallmark movies with my dad, and laughing uncontrollably with my sibs — life is just better when you’re not chained to a cell phone! 📱 Rebuilding my relationships has been such a beautiful and important aspect of my recovery. My loved ones have never stopped believing in me or encouraging me. Never hesitated in forgiving me, nor wavered in patience with me. So now, ten years later as a whole, healthy, and thriving young woman, I find overwhelming JOY in being able to be *all there* for them and with them. So unplug me, baby! I’ve got a life to live that DOESN’T involve a cell phone!! ✨ What’s your favorite way to unplug? Were you off social media over thanksgiving too? Let me know!! 📱 🔌 🗂 📧 💻 🎛 ⌨️ #family #ohio #faith #love #thanksgiving #travelblogger #edrecovery #plantbased #vegansofig #glutenfree #edfam #realrecovery #catholic #christian #auntlife #beautybeyondbones #bodypositive #selflove #selfcare #wellness #blogger #blog #nyc #joy #love #homeiswheretheheartis #style #home #outdoors Nothing like a family photo to remind you of how single you are! 😂 But in all seriousness,these people are my world and every single day I thank God for the immeasurable blessing of family.
